Frank Delaney’s wife, Diane Meier, is the author of The New American Wedding, and president of Meier, a New York City-based marketing firm. Her career spans from writing and design to public speaking. Meier will read from and sign her first novel The Season of Second Chances ($25.00 Henry Holt). “Sure to be much-loved and often-shared, this graceful, funny novel nudges its characters and readers toward self renewal, change, and a chance for greater happiness. Diane Meier’s liberating novel values both the arcane scholarship of college professors and the practical, artistic insights of handymen and real estate agents. Like The Secret Life Of Bees, this brave, warm novel suggests that for a person who has the courage to seize a second chance, there’s also the opportunity for a rewarding third chance, or fourth, of fifth” —Sena Jeter Naslund
